1. A tripod and 180 degree shutter angle (and frame rate conformed to 24p in the NLE)

2. No colour? If you mean why is there less contrast, it's deliberate. I increased the black level a bit to pull up the shadows and give it a more 'film' like look. Film Convert Pro also alters colours to match film stock. I used 'Velvia' for this and played with the colour temperature to get the look I wanted. I was aiming for the cool blues and orange look. The first part of the video is just the DNG files with white balance corrected.

3. The gorgeous girl is my better half. She's very photogenic don't you think?

Sure she is...

about color grading

look what i did with your video

and tell me which one is better?

yeah i mean i can understand when someone want to keep certain colors
but look i didnt change that colors
but they just look better at my edition IMHO

I just uploaded the test I was doing when my camera took a nose dive on the pavement. The video is in 2 parts - ungraded and graded. Description in the video.

oh yeah
thats canon quality video

i have few questions about it

what is workflow for this smooth frame rate

why there is no color and things are flat

and who is this gorgeous girl =)




btw i found there is no way to upload anything on VIMEO

so i uploaded my previous video to youtube


canon 50d raw video with zoom magnification 112 mm to 3000 mm Nikon lens
you can watch it on this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_rUGH0RCWM

also watch it on HD or Full HD only

that crazy thing above is good even for a stills photo

its giving around 2 megapixel raw files
(which is more than I ever use to share my photos online or whatever you want to print it like A3+ size clean)

on 3000 mm lens like 24 burst photos per second with no buffer limitations continuously for 1 minute
then another 1 minute and again until your compact flash card is full with this 4 gb 1 minute files

that is double of what canon 1dx can do (12 burst shots per second)
also buffer size is limited for like 100 shots maybe

only there is no VR and also manual focus only

so you need like tripod to use this construction i made

but this is good for wildlife and sports shooting when u dont want to miss any frame

they do this on canon 1D C that cost like 13.000$ for 4K video but that is compessed H.264 video
and it is not a raw files like in here

so this on canon 50d i made a great opening on magic lantern (tragic lantern) thing.

okay dudes
a huge present from me to everyone

i made a zoom comparison video on raw canon 50d

this shows how much helpful is to shoot in crop mode

a simple Nikon 70-300 mm VR ED attached to canon 50d
becomes a 3000 mm super tele zoom Full HD video camera

first i shot in 70 mm and then go to 300 mm
then go to 10x crop mode

so in reality that gives me 112 mm and 480 mm and 3000 mm lens.

watch this in HD or Full HD mode only!

p.s. the resolution sucks for unknown reason from VIMEO site
so i am did it another way and soon i update this link to better one

in other words check this is a frame from the video above and how does it magnify


and this is frame from maximum magnification zoom 3000 mm lens
(they dont even sell such lenses in the world. and they cost like 20.000$ for 800 mm or little more)



the above magnified frame is even increased its resolution to 1920 in crop mode
and the first one was like 1572 in normal mode

Hey guys,

I wanted to say thanks SO MUCH for Magic Lantern Raw. It's amazing to shoot such sharp images (when you're not missing focus). Here's an example of me missing focus a lot, and pretending to be a nature cinematographer.

No grade. A bit of CA compensation, but you can still see plenty. Some pretty blown out highlights too which I didn't think about, or remove in post. Lots of warp stabilizer.

awesome camera work, awesome compositions, awesome storytelling, awesome editing, awesome music matching

color grade is missing

but how did u make awesome slow motion?

what was your workflow?

p.s. you should get Grammy for that, seriously...

just messing around and can't make file spanning to work on my 50D with 64gb komputerbay card. Allways shuts down after 4gb... Do I miss something?

yeah thats problem to me too on lexar 16 gb
it shuts after 1 minute that is 4 gb

but that is limitation of file size on this systems

In this second video, the guy shoots at a higher resolution.  It looks great as well. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx0_Kc6_Jkc

in the end he says he shoot it in japan
and ISO is 100-6400

so means he did HDR video isnt it

otherwise no chance to get such clear video in night time shoot

you know what?

im using lexar x1000 card 16 gb
and it is enough only for around 4 minutes of raw video
damn it

64 gb komputerbay would be much helpful of coz

also need to at least 2 of them

Latest 50D discovery: It's a tough S.O.B.

So I was out shooting yesterday evening and had the camera on a fully extended tripod while I looked for a spare battery. Stupid me hadn't secured one of the tripod legs and a couple of seconds after turning by back the leg collapsed and the tripod toppled over with the 50D taking the full impact on the asphalt. I was horrified but apart from an unstuck LCDVF frame, a few grazes to the body and a scuffed mode dial it was fine. I'm actually glad the camera hit and not the lens. I doubt my 600D would have survived.

Apart from the accident I got some great test footage that has confirmed to me that the 50D is capable of some seriously good looking images and I don't to upgrade anytime soon 

ameen man

i love you magic lantern people
literally
developers and compilators
you are the best

Seems like ETTR exposure to the right
means over exposing shot making it too bright

is good thing to get a good low noise captures

check this picture out


but what about the auto ettr?
what exactly it is auto about?

You're crazy, but I appreciate your crazyness!

There is nothing crazy about this historical fact. =)
read books about Cyprus

nobody doing any movie about it yet
but its very interesting how cats were protecting humans from snakes in cyprus

at least i made use of canon 50d for some cultural and historically valued, maybe spiritual idea)

finally a music video and not the usual cats and flowers..
nice grading, but the Parkinsonian shake of the camera is really disturbing!

this is camera shake that reproducing old world war 2 times
the song says "oh bird dont sing let the soldiers sleep".
and cat goes to sleep at that moment.

i shot it in cyprus

and the idea behind this music clip is
cats were brought in cyprus to fight snakes in past times by humans
and cats were killing snakes and dying for humans
this is historical fact

so my music clip is like putting the real war song from 1945 from russia
to the cyprus cats as if they are the ones who fights the nazi (snakes) =)

Hey people
chill out

my first professional looking music video made by canon 50d and latest tragic lantern from Andy600

watch and learn

yeah darling
i confirm latest build 19 august works better than 12 august

the frame rate changed from 55 to 67 mb/sec

in crop mode now it can shoot something like 2000 pixel and 1920 pixel with aspect ratio cinemascope
continuous non stop recording around 1 minutes
but this stops when comes to 4 gigabyte file size limit

ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO SURPASS 4 GB filesize limit?

also magic zoom and focus peak works

this is color graded noise reduced sample raw video frame on 1920 pixel in crop mode 3x zoom
yeah quite noisy but its coz crop mode and also high iso low light

[Tragic Lantern 2.0]

Latest Tragic Lantern 2.0 build (the previous build was an intermediate) plus latest raw2dng.exe and cr2hdr.exe (swap older versions of raw2dng.exe in Windows apps like BATCHelor etc).

https://bitbucket.org/andy600/tl50d/downloads

From now on I will upload the processing apps each time there is a new build so always download the top 2 files.

it looks like it takes eternity to render one CR2 file with this new programm cr2hdr.exe

but it looks like a hell less noise than previous cr2hdr.exe test i did today

did you change program?




P.S. this are 100% crops from a full image so its like magnification to pixel pixel view

Can only say BRAVO! To Andy600 and all devs and who making this coding...

Amazeballs!

(disclaimer: This is the one and only time I will ever use that expression) 

Amazeballs it is...)

I also tested it - really no green stuff anymore on dual ISO!

so it was not the magic lantern problem but it was a program that converts cr2 to dng

here is test shot on this. however stuff are quite noisy now... seems like previous green was better?


so as i understand
highlights are shot on 200 iso
and shadows on 1600 iso?

Congratulations with 777 posts)





btw the only thing that kicks me off in canon 50d
(such old and such great camera - thanks to magic/tragic lantern team)

is the shutter sound when you take photos
it really reminds like a toilet tank cover flaps down hehe

[Magic Lantern]

For those who want to stick with Unified code here is the latest Magic Lantern build (includes Digic Focus Peaking, Dual ISO, Auto Exposure etc etc): https://bitbucket.org/andy600/andy50d/downloads#download-222424

oh cool
u doing hard job

but what is unified code?
is it different from tragic lantern?

p.s. im running your 12 august tragic lantern and its so cool

the thing that surprises me
that there is only 40-100 times downloads for each of the builds

is it just 40 people sticking around over this forum topic?

@Andy

There are a bug with yours TL latest update. When you record a raw video, when you finished the video by click on SET, the blue light flashed, the red light too and the display turn off. When you click on live view button you return on photo mode and the display on. When you re click on LV, the display turn off. After turn off the body, click on LV works fine the first time and the second time I've an error 99.

The crashlog:

Thanks a lot !

good that i didnt install the latest one)

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to post some footage that I shot a couple of weeks ago while I was out with the family. It was all very impromptu, all hand held with no rig, didn't even have a viewfinder with me (hence the crappy focus!) But I love the look of the 50d, so thanks to the devs who made this possible!

(harustudio is the name of our business, no point in wasting a branding opportunity

I shot it on one of the recent Tragic Lantern builds, exported to Prores422 from TIFF sequences made in Lightroom, then cut and graded in Premiere Pro CC. The looks are from the included Lumetri presets, and I really like them. Looks great for things like this.

I've also cobbled together a workflow on OS X that mimics how RAWanizer works, by installing DCRaw and FFMpeg on my computer, then running a shell script in Automator. So my workflow for this has been:

RAWMagic > Batch Create Previews Automator Workflow > Rough edit in Premiere > Basic grade and output from Lightroom > Batch Create Prores422 Automator Workflow > Replace previews, edit, grade and export in Premiere

The batch previews workflow is especially helpful, I can go from downloading a 1 minute sequence to having a viewable preview movie on my laptop in about 5 minutes, so while it's not real time playback, it means I could conceivably watch back a 32gb card's worth of clips in under an hour. It's nowhere near as elegant as RAWanizer, and it's a bit of a mission to get DCRaw and FFMpeg installed in OSX (although I've potentially made it easier now that I've found where I can download the binaries of both those programs. Originally I had to compile them myself), but it works great and I'm in the process of putting together a full step by step tutorial, which I hope will help some of you.

Not bad.
Now we can see advantages of canon 50d

Clapboard. Or an external monitor with audio recording (check out first post of this thread)

yeah but i heard that it moves 6 seconds from audio to video stream after 2 minutes

huge gap isnt it?

how to set it work fine or adjust to sync?

Hmm... can anyone say how to sync audio and video on canon 50d?
